T-10 Transient "Marine-Mammal-Eating" Killer Whales, and a Humpback Whale nicknamed "Split-fin".

The Humpback was just off Victoria's waterfront.

The Transient Killer Whales traveled past Victoria heading East, went through Oak Bay and heading up past Kelp Reef in Haro Strait.

Note the large male T10A, 31 years old and (8.5m (28 feet)long, 8.5 tonnes,with a Dorsal Fin nearly 1.6m tall(nearly 6 feet)).

Also notice the notch half way up the trailing edge of the Dorsal Fin of the older female T10. She is thought to be 46 years old.
